This soup is super easy and really good. I personally tend to go for the more made from scratch soups, but sometimes ya just gotta go for easy recipes. I give it 5 stars for easy cooking, 4 stars for flavor, and 3 stars for what I will call creativity. Average it out and this 4 star recipe is great for a quick easy fix with tons of veggies. I even added more than this recipe had. Sometimes simple is great and this recipe is just that. Keep a can of Cream of Potato in your pantry and voila you have a good soup in no time! NIcely done

Very good base recipe you can do your own thing to. I, personally, used 2 cans potato soup, steamed the broccoli, sauteed onion with garlic, can evaporated milk, carrots,cut up potatoes, added chicken boullion, water. I blended some of the broccoli, and a bit of cauliflower, with some of the soup andstirred it all together. Excellent soup, just use what you want..thanx!

Definitely be sure to add some extra chunks of potato, be very generous with the cheese, add a little more milk and water - and you've got perfection in a bowl. Be sure to cook it long enough that the soup thickens... YUM!!!!

This recipe was easy and so good! I used frozen broccoli crowns instead of fresh because I had them on hand and it turned out perfectly. Serve with a warm baguette and you have a tasty cold weather meal!

This is a good soup as written, but as others said, it doesn't make very much. I now steam the broccoli rather than stir frying it, including the stalk. I put the cooked stalks with the milk in the blender before adding it to the rest for a bit more flavor.

I'm not really sure how to rate this recipe because I ended up making alot of changes... as is it would have been rather bland for our family. I used two cans of potato soup, added four diced cooked potatos, added diced ham, onion powder, and a bit of chicken bouillon. I blend my youngest's serving to hide the veggies from her and my hubby said next time blend it all, he tought hers tasted even better! So excellent base recipe, easy to make and easy to play with to make it work for you!

This is just what I was looking for! I had broccoli I needed to use up. This is also great because it's one of those recipes that you can keep the ingredients on hand and make it in a pinch. I only used half an onion (finely diced) and 1/4 tsp. dried basil. Thanks for sharing!

I didn't have condensed cream of potato soup, but I did have potatoes...and those were peeled and cut into cubes. I added a little extra milk and used chicken broth instead of water. Also, salt was necessary and I added an additional 1/3 cup of parmesan cheese to the 1/3 cup of cheddar. Overall, solid recipe for a basic soup.
